Ahoy is back once again with another video, this time detailing the iconic German MP40 and its inclusion in video games and films. The video starts with a brief overview of the adoption of submachine guns in 20th century warfare leading up to the development of the MP40, and also briefly recognizes some of the contemporaries of its era, including the American Thompson and Soviet PPSH-41. It’s by no means an in-depth history, but it’s still an entertaining video that shows the pedigree of the titular submachine gun, and its influence on culture and entertainment.

HatsanUSA is pleased to announce the release of its TAC-BOSS 250XT – a CO2 BB pistol that offers the realistic look and feel of a classic American handgun, perfect for both target shooting and plinking with new and well-versed shooters. This new offering is the inaugural product in HatsanUSA’s new TAC-BOSS CO2 BB gun line, which will continue to expand in the future.

The TAC-BOSS 250XT uses an all-in-one magazine system for easy loading of up to 17 .177 caliber premium BBs and a standard 12-gram CO2 cartridge. With a fresh CO2 cartridge this semi-automatic BB pistol can fire 60 shots at an optimal velocity of 430 fps.

To give shooters a genuine feel, the TAC-BOSS 250XT features a high-quality steel frame and an ergonomic-designed grip with a 25-degree angle off of bore centerline. This exaggerated angle is an American favorite and is intended to improve balance and improve accuracy.

The TAC-BOSS 250XT weighs just under 30 ounces and is fitted with fixed non-glare rear sight and fixed green fiber-optic front sight, as well as a smooth double action trigger and a 5.5-inch bull barrel profile.

And with an MSRP of $75.95, the TAC-BOSS 250XT is not only the perfect gun to teach new shooters proper handgun techniques, but also provides a fun alternative for experienced shooters when target shooting or plinking.
